I do pronounce it like from the Lord of the Rings! That’s actually who my parents named me after. 🙂

Baby naming books are full of weird things. They are helpful for finding normal names that my brain won’t come up with alone though.

I am not smart enough to create my own names. I mostly write in the “present-day America”, so I haven’t really needed them. I think it would be tons of fun though! I just need to come up with a story set in a time and place where I could. hmm… Do you think I could away with inventing a name for characters set in a sci-fi-ish story set about ten years in the future from now, pretty much like current-day America, except, you know, the stuff I change to make a plot? probably not…

Okay, that’s a nice way to pronounce your username. 🙂

When I read ‘Kyerin’ for the first time, I pronounced it as “Karen”, but depending on the setting I might immediately see (or just because of the way it is spelled) I might pronounce it as “K-eye-rin”. Except the ‘k’ is part of the first syllable. (clearly, I am bad at spelling out how to pronounce things.) I am not most people though and tend to see things from a very different perspective somehow, so I might not be the best candidate for testing things on, or at least not your only opinion. I do love to do proofread or test things! Just want to admit my deficiencies.

It’s nice to meet you too!

I have a semi-complicated question. More like, I have to explain some stuff before asking the question.

If there are three characters, a guy, a girl, and one that could be either but I haven’t decided yet, should I make the undecided a guy or girl? The undecided is cousins with the girl, and the girl falls in love with the guy. Also, the undecided is a criminal defense lawyer. Not sure how important that part is. :/ Anway, if, through a series of events, the trio ends up captured by bad guys, and to make it more real, aren’t going to all make it out alive because they are all accidental heroes and have no real training in any way, and in real life absolutely won’t make it out alive, what would be most tragic? (assuming the undecided is a guy) Would it be worse for only the girl to make it out, both guys sacrificing themselves to get her out? Or, would it be worse for both guys to make it out and her not? Provided they did absolutely everything they could for her.

Sorry that was like three questions.
